This followed High Court judge Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali's order, which was given to MACC deputy public prosecutor Allan Suman Pillai on Aug 30, that the prosecution amend the name of the respondent from Pekan Umno to the office bearer for Pekan Umno.
Najib's son Datuk Mohd Nizar Najib, who is the division's Pemuda Umno chief, was also named in the suit.The High Court also allowed the prosecution to file a gazette notice under Section 61 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 to allow third parties claiming any interest in the RM700,000 that was allegedly linked to 1Malaysia Development Berhad to come forward.
Justice Mohd Nazlan then fixed Nov 15 for the gazette notice to be executed after prosecution asked for two months to implement the process.Pekan Umno had before contested the forfeiture suit based on the argument that the prosecution had named the wrong respondent by naming only Pekan Umno instead of an office bearer of the division.
